This didn’t age well

lmao this was only a month ago. aren't people getting just under double that already?

I'm gonna call BS on this. If you want over 2 sec/ ft the calculations say you need a domed chute with a 1.5m diameter that weighs 4 grams including the ball which is 2.8 g. Good Luck!

If this event was based off simple math don’t you think eveeyone would be at the same level? U just gotta be different and find a way.

Sorry, but how did you calculate this? and, theory tends to be quite different than practice in build events, especially one as complicated as parachutes.

Another side note - has anyone been able to find a relationship between parachute mass, diameter, cord length, etc. I can't really think through it. Although, that might be the secret to getting the perfect parachute...

Are you at over 2 s/ft?

Not yet but can confirm it’s possible. Over 1.5 though

Although i personally haven't gotten it, i can confirm 2 s/ft is completely possible too

Nice. I think I´m pretty close to achieving 1.5 soon as well (hopefully). Got a nice design and some prototypes in testing, just gotta make them a little more consistent and fix a couple of small issues.

Does that mean you can get 37.5 second in a 25ft high gym?
37.5 second seems to be unbelievable good

Probably possible, but most likely a little less IMO since the parachute will likely drop a few feet before it fully opens.
